Poor Man's Spy: Carbon Ghost: A Clean YA Techno-Thriller - Book 3 in the Spy Series

Eric Hirschi still has his skills - radios, networks, systems nobody else can untangle - but he's never had to prove it to anyone who mattered before. When a string of unexplained power outages starts rippling across the country, Eric is the only one who recognizes what's really happening: a forgotten piece of the grid, decades old and never meant to be secure, quietly turned into a weapon. Pulled in as a consultant by the FBI agent who once helped save Brittany's life, Eric finds himself trusted with something far bigger than a help-desk ticket - and far more dangerous than anything he's ever taken apart.Kyle Austin is still the first one through the door, still the guy who'd rather build something with his hands than sit behind a screen - but he's also the one person Eric refuses to leave behind when things go wrong. As Eric gets pulled deeper into the investigation, Kyle insists on coming with him, trading engine grease for a front-row seat to a fight neither of them fully understands yet, armed with nothing but loyalty and a willingness to swing first and ask questions later.Behind it all is a man who believes he's saving the world by breaking it - a brilliant, chillingly calm mastermind who sees the outages not as attacks, but as a message the world hasn't earned the right to ignore yet. As the blackouts grow bigger, and the danger creeps closer to the people Eric loves most, he and Kyle are drawn into a race against a countdown they can't see, against an enemy who's already three moves ahead.Ultimately, Eric must decide how far he's willing to go - not just to stop a man determined to bring the country to its knees, but to protect the people who've never once doubted what he's capable of.A story about trust, quiet courage, and the cost of being the only one who sees the danger coming - Poor Man's Spy: Carbon Ghost is a pulse-pounding thriller for anyone who's ever wondered what it would take to become the hero hiding in plain sight.
